Chapter 379 Yunhao's Sixth Sense
Luo Cheng looked at Yunzhou County not far away, a city of three miles and a country of seven miles.Yunzhou is such a standard city, and it only takes a while for the horses to run around.

The city gate was tightly closed, and the drawbridge was raised.The soldiers running around the city are in a mess, with clothes of all colors.As for weapons, those with a spear are considered elite.Most of them hold wooden sticks, as is the case with the poor peasant army, and iron tools are always scarce.

Looking back at his subordinates, they were all fat and strong.Wearing iron armor, holding a horse in his hand.There was a horizontal knife stuck in his waist, and his cheeks hung down from the horse bag on the horse's buttocks.Around the neck of the horse, there are still bows and arrows.With the visor down, that's real armed to the teeth.Luo Cheng believed that it only took one charge to take down the mob on the top of the city.

"Young master, why don't we attack the city? We took down such a city in one go. Why wait for those stupid pawns behind, it will change later. If that Wang Xuanying ran away in the middle of the night, the meritorious service we got would be nothing more than that." Fly away." Luo Tong has followed Luo Cheng since he was a teenager, and has experienced countless battles, big and small. In his eyes, these guys in Yunzhou City are standard fish belly.

"Don't say too much, it is impossible to attack the city. The city wall of Yunzhou is not high, but it is about two or three feet long. Horses can't fly up, we are cavalry. There is no such thing as carrying a ladder to charge a car. Tell the brothers to be vigilant Be careful. Especially at night, if we don't let Wang Xuanying escape, we've done a great job." Thinking of Yun Hao's warning, Luo Cheng gave up the idea of ​​attacking the city.

What Yunhao said is correct, the advantage of cavalry is field combat.Letting these cavalrymen under him go to attack the city is purely brain-dead behavior.

At this time, Yun Hao was rushing to Yunzhou with the army.Counting the time, now Luo Cheng has arrived at the city of Yunzhou.The army does not need to go out at night, starting from last night.The army is marching fast, and the last rest was still eating breakfast.

Breakfast is cold steamed buns, which are dry food distributed in Zhuozhou.Yunhao has more than a dozen large carts under his command, all of which are filled with pots.You can't bring anything else, you can only boil some boiling water for the big guys.If you eat too much cold steamed buns, your stomach will hurt, but drinking some hot water will make you feel better.Now there is no need to hide whereabouts, and there is no problem in lighting a fire.

"Yun Hou is really thoughtful!" Wei Zheng was holding a huge pottery bowl in his hand, "sucking" and "sucking" drinking boiling water.After driving all night, the boiled water poured into my stomach, and I felt unspeakably comfortable.After a while, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from the forehead.

"Qin's soldiers endure hardships, but the bodies of the soldiers are not made of iron. As the commander of the army, Yun must try his best to ensure the maximum combat power of the army." Yun Hao doesn't like to eat steamed buns, and there are biscuits in his bag.

As for the bag of Xiong Kuo Hai, it is even more abundant.The generals spread out an oilcloth, and you and I added things to it bit by bit. After a while, the oilcloth was full of food.They were all dry food from the Yun family, and Wei Zheng knew some of them.Some Wei Zheng didn't know each other. Wei Zheng, who ate two steamed buns, stuffed half of the steamed buns in his hand to the servant without hesitation, and sat down next to Yun Hao.

"The old man Huainan Wang once said that fighting with Yunhou is the most pleasant thing. A meal during the march is also like a wild trip. Seeing you today, it really deserves its reputation. Wei admires, admires!" The old bastard She cupped her hands at Yunhao, and then started at Chishi.Pick up a piece of stewed beef and start to chew.

Yun's braised beef is all large pieces of beef boiled in thick salty salt water and then dried.Looking at the layer of hoarfrost on the side of the beef, Yun Hao could guess how salty the meat was.

In fact, military rations don't pay much attention to taste, and practicality comes first.This kind of corned beef is thrown into the soup pot, and there is no need to put salt in the next turn of vermicelli.At the beginning, Yunhao wanted to use this thing as bacon.Now that Wei Zheng picked it up and gnawed it, Yun Hao was very worried that this ancient man would be beaten to death.

Sure enough, Wei Zheng yelled for water after taking two mouthfuls.The servants hurriedly brought a bowl of hot water. Seeing Wei Zheng scratching his ears and cheeks from the heat, he still gulped it down.Yun Hao couldn't hold back his joy!Xiong Kuohai looked at Wei Zheng like he was looking at a turtle.

"Master Xi Ma still eats this." Yun Hao took out an oiled paper bag from the oilcloth, and opened it in twos and twos.Get a cake out of it!

"Thank you!" Wei Zheng thanked him with his hands in the palm of his hand, and began to gnaw on it with kindness.Because he found that Xiong Kuo Hai and they were all eating this thing.

This thing is very hard, chewing in the mouth as if chewing brittle bones, and it smells like chopped green onion.But it tastes good, a little sweet and milky.Wei Zheng can be considered a well-informed person, but this is the first time he has eaten this food.

After nibbling a piece, Yun Hao handed him a bowl of warm water.Wei Zheng, who had been thirsty for a long time, drank the water in the bowl in one gulp, but saw Yun Hao looking at him with a smile.He touched his body, ran his hands around his face, and found nothing wrong.Can't help asking strangely: "Why is Yun Hou laughing?"

"Are you still hungry, sir?" Yun Hao said with a smile.

Wei Zheng suddenly felt that he really wasn't hungry anymore.Not only was he not hungry, but his stomach was a little bloated.As if eating a lot, according to your own appetite, a small piece of cake can't achieve this effect.

Wei Zheng looked at Yunhao in surprise and said, "What is this thing, just this small piece can fill people up?" He is a smart person, so he naturally knows the value of this thing in war.

For a long time, the transportation of food, grass and luggage has been a long-standing problem for the army.For a cart of grain and fodder, only half of the cart is left if the people eat the horse chews and transport them to the front line.If the road is long, only one car will be left when three carloads of grain are transported to the destination.So much so that when General Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty set off outside the Great Wall, tens of thousands of people were needed to ensure his logistical supply.If there is such a thing, it is simply a treasure in the army.The problems that have plagued the generals for thousands of years will be easily solved.

"When the boy was about to leave the house, he made some of these things. He used soybeans (soybeans), millet, flour, sugar, salt, and most importantly, he added a lot of meat powder. He steamed these foods and placed them in the What do you think of pressing it under the big rock and then drying it to become this thing?" Yun Hao said with a smile.

This thing is actually the Datang version of compressed biscuits. When I was young, I lived next to the arsenal, and I have been familiar with this craft for a long time.Now that it is cloned, everything else is the same except that it cannot be vacuumed.Now that the weather is getting colder, Yunhao thinks that there is absolutely no possibility of this thing being spoiled in winter in Hebei.

"Eat and eat together, your Yun family is considered top-notch in my Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect that the military rations can do the same. Since you showed this item to the old man, the old man will simply give you. I believe you have already started large-scale production. This The Eastern and Western Ministry of War will order [-] catties. After this battle is over, the old man will issue a document.

The old man is alone and wants nothing.It's just that in this share, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have [-]% of it.Do you have an opinion? "Wei Zheng stroked his beard. This guy is not only a horse washer in the East Palace. He also has an errand in the Ministry of War. His new minister, Qu Tutong, dare not call him because of his face.

"Deal!" After Yun Hao raised his palm and gave Wei Zheng three high-fives, the contract was considered effective.No one would renege on their debts, a Marquis and an East Palace wash their horses, repudiating their debts is not enough to embarrass them.

A big business was created for the family with just one meal, and Xiong Kuohai was amazed by the master's business ability.The compressed biscuits in his mouth were eaten in three or two bites. It was so wise to take refuge in this old man back then. Now Xiong Kuohai himself worships himself. If there is a mirror, he would like to knock himself a mirror.

Both Wei Zheng and Li Jiancheng felt that there was no need to waste time on the road.The army was rushing towards Yunzhou City, as long as they could catch Wang Xuanying, this expedition would be half successful.

Under the supervision of Li Jiancheng, the army frantically rushed to Yunzhou.The road that can be covered in three days can be covered in one and a half days.The soldiers were as tired as dogs sticking out their tongues, and the forced march almost exhausted their strength.

Li Jiancheng was surprised to find that other people's teams were too tired to stand up.The subordinates of Qiu Shili and Sheng Yan could still maintain a strict formation.And looking at it like this, it's not a big problem to walk for another day.Although these two people come from different places, the predecessor of their army is the new army compiled and trained by Yun Hao.

"Brother Hao, you still know how to train soldiers. After you go back, do you have any plans to become an official? The position of the left servant of the Ministry of War is waiting for you." Li Jiancheng really wanted to win over this kid, so he did not hesitate to throw out the position of the left servant of the Ministry of War.You know, this can be the second in command of the Ministry of War, second only to the Minister of the Ministry of War.

"His Royal Highness praised it. In fact, they were able to walk because they all wore leggings. Look at the cloth straps on their legs. That thing is called leggings. As long as the soldiers have this thing wrapped around their calves, even walking You won't be too tired for a day." Yun Hao explained to Li Jiancheng, pointing to the leggings on the soldiers' legs.

"Can you walk more with a cloth strap?" Li Jiancheng's jaw almost dropped, he didn't expect the solution to the matter to be so simple.

"Indeed, the principle behind this is very complicated. However, wearing a cloth belt can indeed relieve the fatigue caused by marching."

"Well! This method is good, Wei Zheng, and we will promote it in the Ministry of War after we go back. Brother Hao, it seems that the left servant of the Ministry of War is none other than you." Li Jiancheng patted Yun Hao on the shoulder with a smile, which is a sign of favor.He didn't look at Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche, but looked at Yunhao in the wrong way.

No matter what kind of friendship they have, I don't dare to step into the muddy water of Li Jiancheng.The current Li Jiancheng is almost carved out of the mold described in history books.It seems that those dirty things written in the Tang book are not water without a source.

Seeing that Yunhao was silent, he glanced at the west-slanting sun.Li Jiancheng ordered: "Set up camp, make siege equipment, and attack the city tomorrow."

"Here!" The three armies agreed, roaring like thunder.

Luo Cheng's eyes were as dilated as a rabbit's, and he was finally relieved to see the army coming.It seems that he has been on the horse for the past two days.So much so that after getting off the horse, he walked with bowed legs.

"You guys are counted, not even a single rabbit has escaped from Yunzhou city. Wang Xuanying should still be in the city!" Luo Cheng yawned long, the thing he wants to do the most right now is to sleep.

"General Luo has worked hard, go and rest quickly. Tomorrow's attack on the city requires General Luo to show his might." Li Jiancheng suddenly came out from behind Yunhao, causing Luo Cheng to salute in a hurry.

"Hurry up and go to sleep, nothing is more important than sleep now. After a while, the army will besiege the city, even if Wang Xuanying grows wings, he won't be afraid of him flying out." Yun Hao comforted Luo Chengdao.Man is not a machine, as long as energy is continuously added, it can continue to operate.If you don't sleep for several days in a row, even a professionally trained special soldier's combat effectiveness will be reduced to scum.

"The last general...!" Luo Cheng was about to bid farewell to Li Jiancheng and go to bed when he suddenly saw Li Jiancheng looking behind Luo Cheng in horror.Turning his head, Luo Cheng saw a thick column of smoke rising from Yunzhou city.The number of smoke columns continued to increase, and the orange flames could already be vaguely seen across the city wall.

"No, Wang Xuan should run away." Wei Zheng exclaimed.

Yun Hao was a little puzzled, why did Wang Xuan choose to escape when the army arrived, instead of running away sooner or later.But no wonder, this is his last chance to escape.Once the army besieged the city, he would never have the chance to jump again.

"General Qi, the north gate is open. About a thousand riders fled to the north, and the brothers guarding the north gate have already caught up." A scout quickly ran to Luo Cheng to report.

Luo Cheng jumped onto the horse all of a sudden, and waved the spear in his hand.Shout out: "Follow me!"

"Slow down!" Yun Hao rubbed his right eyelid that was jumping non-stop, and stopped Luo Cheng with a loud shout.

"There's something wrong with this!" Yun Hao said as he stopped Luo Cheng's horse.

"Why is it wrong?" Li Jiancheng looked at the rebel soldiers running wild on the city wall, and said a little puzzled.

"I can't tell. Anyway, it doesn't feel right. Luo Cheng, you can't go after him." Yun Hao didn't know what was going on, he just felt sensitively that there was something wrong with this matter.But what was wrong, he couldn't figure it out.

"Your Highness! Wang Xuan should be a cavalry soldier, as long as he escapes, it will be difficult to catch him again." Wei Zheng roared anxiously.This time the troops were dispatched, and the main target was Wang Xuanying.Now that the culprit is gone, how will President An explain to Li Yuan.

"Brother Hao, your soldiers are very fast, if you delay for a while, Wang Xuanying will run away." Luo Cheng also roared anxiously.He led people to wait outside Yuncheng for three days, just to block Wang Xuanying.Now that the person has run away, isn't the sin of these two days in vain?

"No!" Yun Hao's uneasy feeling became more and more intense, he grabbed Luo Cheng's rein to prevent Luo Cheng from chasing him.

"Pull away Yunhou, Luo Cheng, you have to bring Wang Xuanying, the villain, back to Gu." Li Jiancheng glanced at Yunhao, and gave his order coldly.

"Crack!" Luo Cheng didn't see any movement, Yun Hao felt his arm go numb.Luo Cheng had pulled back the reins, and the horse neighed and rushed towards the north.

"Come back!" Yun Hao yelled at the smoke and dust all over the sky.
